Maybe Golden didn't come simply the way we recruited him. That is why Chris Jordan chose Alabama over us.

lol, are you serious?

Tate did not want anything to do with UT from the start and made it clear so UT didnt even bother.

Chris Jordan was recruited but we never had a chance because he didnt plan on staying here to begin with. He was a transfer student from GA anyway.

plus we wanted Jordan as a LB and he was deadset on being a RB.

Golden Tate is talented enough to play at Notre Dame, he does not belong at a mid-major or 1AA.

Come on.....How many guys are at UT, that ride the pine and don't make a huge difference. They have BIG TIME Talent, but get in a situation or school where they don't make an impact. There are ALOT of 1AA players that have BCS talent, some D2 that have the talent. They just did what was best for them! That is my point.

Points like you just made show me and everyone that you don't look at the whole picture. EVERY 3* or higher player should go to the BIGGEST school possible. Right??? Wrong.....it should be based on many factors. Look at the NFL rosters and see how many greats are from "small" schools. Better opportunities lead to better results!

Jim Bob Cooter could have been a STUD at APSU or Tech. Think about it!

Tate was/is going to see plenty of PT this year at ND. If you were in Tate's shoes, there is no way you would have went to Peay. That is just stupid.

I'd like to see how many 4 star players commited to 1AA schools from the start, not counting transfers. I doubt there are any.

I never said Tate should have gone to Peay. Read the freaking post! I SAID COOTER!!!!!!! Jeez! I did not say Tate WAS going to transfer, (someone else said he was unhappy!) If he does I hope he comes home! That is all I said. You always jump to conclusions without thinking/reading! READ before you post!

Some3/4 stars SHOULD go to smaller schools. If you were a 3 star LB and UT was /had recruited 5 LB's at the same /better level you were, what would you do???? If you had a brain and wanted to "PLAY" the sport you love, go somewhere where you can PLAY and still get a great education. Would you rather go to UT, sit the bench or go to UT Martin and be ALL OVC?

This is a different thread, but parents and HS coaches need to do a better job advising students!

BTW.......The *****'s mean nada! It is a joke!

lol I do not, I hardly ever even respond to stuff like this. You have no idea what you're talking about.
You might not have said Tate should have went to Peay but you said he would have been better off at a 1AA school. What is Austin Peay again?
Oh and I would go to UT all the way.

Good for you! Have fun riding the pine!

How many players go to (like you said) 1A and transfer to 1AA? Most of those should have NEVER been at 1A! That was my point!

A player like Tate could have gone to a (like I said) a "small" 1A like a Memphis, Baylor, East Carolina, ect....or a 1AA powerhouse, or a local school where he could have been an icon. Talent is talent. The NFL will find you....but YOU HAVE TO PLAY AND BE HAPPY!

That comes from someone that NEVER had a chance to play any college sport! If you were good enough at ANY level, you would speak differently!

Look at the NFL rosters and tell me how many "suck" players come from the OVC, or any 1AA school! Today or all time! Give me a break.

Go back in time...If you were offered a football scholly at Murray State (full ride) or you payed your own way to UT and you have a 1/million chance to walk on at UT, what would you do???? Be honest!

OVC football is the arm-pit of college sports. Up until a few years ago my local high school could beat Austin Peay.

I just received a VERY RUDE PM from someone! I'm very sorry that my comments struck a nerve. Some people would rather sit the bench for a BIG school than play for a small school. My fault.

Let me clarify!!
I (me, myself) would rather play, have fun, and enjoy my experience, than sit my butt on the pine. That is all. Big time schools are not for everyone. They are for some, but not all. That was my point. don't take everything so personaly.

BTW.....until a few years ago, Me and 10 of my friends could have suited up and beat APSU. That does not hurt me. Try harder.

SORRY!!!!!!

Half the time, those transfers are for something else besides talent. Big time players shouldn't be afraid of competition, if they are than they should do exactly what you are saying. Personally, I'm glad a player like Dennis Rogan chose to go to UT over Maryville College.

Sorry...what does that mean? Never mind??

UT/Maryville College???? Really!

You're 20 yrs old. Act like it! I never said "afraid" of talent! Look at a Lamarcus Coker for example....
Immature young man that had tons of pub thrown at him quickly. He had the talent to play at ANY level. Did he have the work ethic, disipline, drive, desire, smarts, maturity to play at a UT, UF, Bama, ect......NO! Hindsite is 20/20. But a family member or coach should have seen that and worked with him on his decision. He was never afraid of competition/talent. He was a young man that would have benefited from a smaller program with less "outside influences".

Good luck at Hampton!

Enemies???

No....just having fun. That is what these sites are for. Debates and disagreements! I am a HUGE UT fan, but I do not bow down to all that is UT. Some on this site can't admit when they are wrong. I can.....and have several times. I just don't need a 20 yr old giving me advice! BTW.....I don't mean you!!
